In September, the autumn wind is bleak, the dead grass and yellow leaves are covered with white frost. The Central Plains have already smelled the cold smell of winter, but Lingnan is still as warm as early autumn.

Xu Huiyan, who rushed back to Bianliang from Lingnan, stood outside the Wende Hall with his hands. The cold wind blew on his face, but it could not destroy the burning flames in his heart at all.

"Xu Xu Huiyan's interview."

"Xu Xu Huiyan's interview..."

Zhao Gou did not ask Xu Huiyan to wait for long. After discussing it with Zong Ze and others for a while, he immediately announced Xu Huiyan.

How to say it?

Zhao Gou sent Chen Gou and Xu Huiyan to Lingnan one after another to control the east and west routes of Guangnan, with the goal of Dayue in the south.

Since the King of Qin swept the ** and unified the world, this Dayue has always been a part of China. Although there were sporadic interruptions in the middle and even a Wanchun Kingdom was created, all of them were pacified by the unified dynasty in the Central Plains.

However, this inheritance was broken in the hands of the Zhao family.

When the Tang Dynasty fell, the Qu family of Jiaozhou was in charge of the position of Jiedushi of Jinghai Army and fought with the Southern Han regime that ruled Lingnan. In the third year of the Southern Han Dynasty (930), the Southern Han Dynasty destroyed the Qu family, but the local generals of Jiaozhou, Yang Tingyi and others still competed for autonomy. In the eleventh year of the Southern Han Dynasty (938), the former general of Tingyi, Wu Quan controlled the local area, and the Southern Han sent troops to attack. Wu Quan planted large piles in the Baiteng River, and when the tide rose, the Southern Han military ships arrived. At this time, the tide receded, and the Southern Han military ships were stranded because they encountered large piles. Wu Quan took the opportunity to send a boat army to defeat the Southern Han army. After the war, Wu Quan established himself as king and established the Wu Dynasty.

Although the so-called Wu Dynasty was a joke, it was destroyed by the Ding tribe within a few years, and later the Ding Dynasty was destroyed by the former Li Dynasty, and it was like a lantern, which was a symbol of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. However, this was the former Li Dynasty, which had not existed for a few days, defeated the troops sent by Zhao Song to the south and consolidated the Jiaozhi regime.

At that time, Zhao Song's main energy was still pulled by the Liao Kingdom in the north, and he actually recognized the independence of the former Li Dynasty.

Yes, the old Zhao family couldn't even get back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the north, and the Dangxiang in the west (not yet established a country, but had already separatist prefectures and counties) could not be dealt with, let alone the Western Regions. Even if Jiaozhi was lost, it would be natural, right?

The Li Dynasty after the Li Dynasty, which is now the King of Dayue, is in a sense, which is considered a truly influential local regime. At least it has existed for hundreds of years.

During the period of Wang Anshi's reform, Zhao Song had a Xining War with him.

The heart of the Shenzong is very big and wild.

It would be fine if the Xihe River in the northwest was opened, but in the south, the Li Dynasty also adopted a tough attitude. The magistrate of Yongzhou, Shen Qi and Liu Yi, successively used the magistrate of Yongzhou, to build warships, recruit local tribes and people as soldiers, and rectify the army. Xu Baixiang, a native of Lingnan, leaked the news to Dayue. The monarch and ministers of the Li Dynasty believed that this battle was inevitable, so it would be better to send troops to invade the Song Dynasty first. Therefore, the Li Dynasty launched the war invasion of Song Dynasty in the eighth year of Xining in the Song Dynasty. General Li Changjie led the troops to break through Qinzhou, Lianzhou, Yongzhou and other places. In the battle of Yongzhou, the magistrate Su Jian resisted hard, and the city was broken and died. The Li army killed a lot.

, in the three prefectures of Qin, Lian and Yong, they massacred hundreds of thousands of people and captured the people and returned. Zhao Song immediately launched a counterattack. In March of the following year, the generals Guo Kui, Zhao En and others were ordered to lead troops, and jointly attack with Chameng, Zhen La and other countries near Vietnam. Guo Kui's troops regained Guangyuan Prefecture, and defeated the Yue army in Fuliangjiang, killing Prince Hong Zhen and Prince Zhaowen of Yue. Li Renzong was deeply uneasy about this, so he asked the Song side to cease the war and was willing to return the people they had captured. The Song army also had inconvenient march due to the dangerous mountains at the junction of the two sides, and because of the local climate factors, the army was sick and plagued, so he chose to stop the army.

Therefore, Zhao Gou now wants to attack Li Chao, so he doesn’t need to make any excuses. Just like when Xuan and the Northern Expedition, he has collected enough troops, money and food, and just started working!

But the problem is the difficulty lies in the "army, horse, money and food"!

Zhao Song had no soldiers in Lingnan at all, and his only elite troops also followed Li Gong to the north in the first year of Jingkang and lost all of them.

That is, the Li Dynasty was honest. In addition, Li Renzong, who had been king for more than 50 years, died in the second year of Jingkang, and his nephew Li Yanghuan succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen. He was regent from ministers Liu Qingtan, Zhang Boyu and others. The Li Dynasty also had a turbulent national situation, mainly stable.

Otherwise, if you suddenly send troops into Guangnan West Road, as long as you deal with the local officials in your territory, you will definitely be out of the way.

It can be said that the entire Lingnan is extremely empty.

After Chen Gou took office, he started to form a local garrison army. The only advantage was that there was no shortage of money and food in this place.

Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road, rich!

However, some of the money and grain were cut out to form a navy. Zhao Song's development in Nanyang, such as Luzon and Temasek, all the money and grain required were produced in Lingnan.

This caused Li Chao to panic. He had never had a regular navy. In the past two years, he also formed a navy that was both used for rivers and seas, but the scale was really not large. Because this thing was too wasteful of money and food, Li Chao's national strength was simply unable to support a fast and complete large fleet.

All Li Chao could do was to build a framework and then slowly fill it out year by year.

Zhao Gou gave the entire war against the Li Dynasty to Chen Gou. When can we send troops and how to move troops depends on Chen Gou. However, the central government's support for this war was limited, and the Ministry of Revenue did not intend to distribute money and food at all.

And Chen Go perfectly solved all the problems.

From rectifying the troops and to settle the banished prefectures and counties on Guangnan West Road, the place was a bit sensitive. If the Song Dynasty wanted to mobilize troops there, it would have to say hello to the local natives and Dali, which were not far away.

Chen Go is ready now, and he is waiting for the order to be issued by Bianliang.

And Xu Huiyan is the one who came to report to Zhao Gou.

All the plans, as well as the money, food and supplies in Chen Go's hand, were in Xu Huiyan's heart. He also carried Chen Go's memorial with him. Chen Go did not use the form of "Quick Horse Emergency Report" to send messages to Bianliang because it was not safe.

Who knows how much effort Li Chao spent in Lingnan in the past two years?

Chen Go was not willing to take any risk.

History will never forget Xu Baixiang, just like Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao who will never forget to join Li Yuanhao.

Xu Baixiang is also a scholar. He studied hard for ten years in his early years and was a little talented. Unexpectedly, he was not lucky at the time. He took the imperial examinations many times but failed many times. He was old and accomplished nothing. He claimed that he had knowledge but had no place to use his skills. He gradually complained about the world and was full of resentment. He believed that the emperors and officials of the Song Dynasty had no eyes and did not know talented, which delayed his bright future. When he heard that the relationship between the Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi Kingdom was tense, he couldn't help but feel moved and thought that his opportunity had come.

Two great examples of Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao are standing up in front of them.

So he wrote a letter to the king of Jiaozhi Kingdom. Sima Guang's "Jingshui Jiwen" records the content of this letter. In the letter, he said to the king of Jiaozhi: "My king, your ancestors are also from Fujian, and many of your civil and military ministers are also from the Central Plains. I have outstanding talents, but the emperor of the Central Plains does not need me, and I am willing to serve under your command. The situation between the two countries is tense now, so the king might as well start first, and I can act as an internal supporter."

Then there was a battle in Xining, and then there were hundreds of thousands of people in Yongzhou and other places.

But what is even more tragic is that when Li Chao's soldiers were defeated by the elite Zhao Song army led by Guo Kui and others, they were the first to throw Xu Baixiang out as a scapegoat.

Chen Go is now guarding against the second one, Xu Baixiang.

In the past two years, Zhao Gou's policies have offended too many scholars and officials. The Jinyiwei and Imperial City Department cracked some theft cases of drug powder formulas that were cracked by them, not only foreigners.
